When I saw this sandal had a four-star average, I was shocked and had to write my five-star review. I can no longer wear flat sandals with no cushion and had been searching for a stylish, more comfortable pair for replacement purposes. My search took much more time and effort than one would imagine, as there is a dearth of options in this category. Please keep in mind that these are not the type of comfort sandals to tromp around European cobblestone streets every day for a month. Instead, these fill the gap between ultra-stylish, bedazzled sandals atop a flat slab of leather, and the kind of sandals filling the halls of your local assisted-living facility. These are pretty, comfortable, and flattering, and will certainly stand up to a full day of shopping and errand running, followed by a garden party or barbeque.
No matter what your foot type, when purchasing strappy sandals, fit can be difficult (i.e. straps too loose or straps too snug). However, this sandal ingenuously allows for almost total adjustability in this regard, making for a custom fit. Plus, it can be slipped on and off without unbuckling. I purchased the black sandal, and if there were a tan or metallic neutral available (hint, hint), I would make another purchase. Enjoy your summer!

I bought these to have something cute and comfortable to wear other than flip-flops, and I'm surprised how comfortable they are. The footbed is soft with moderate arch support, and the straps didn't give me blisters like strappy shoes usually do. I usually wear a size 8.5, and I ordered size 8 since Borns usually run a bit big and they fit great. The only issue I have is the color. I ordered the red ones and they are actually salmon colored.

I wanted sandals for the summer to wear with shorts or dresses (that were not flip-flops). These sandals are perfect! They are extremely comfortable right out of the box. The first time that I wore them I did a lot of walking - I had no blisters nor tired, sore feet. They are very light so it feels as if I am not even wearing shoes! I am considering buying some other colors because I love these shoes so much!

The straps on these shoes are not supportive enough. I feel like I'm sloshing around in them. My foot is somewhat wide but what got me was the back heel strap. Even on the last loop I could slip them off. If they would shorten the straps all around by about 1/8 to 1/4 inch they'd be perfect. Footbed was very comfortable and the leather was very soft.

These shoes are pretty comfortable and look cute, but the insole has a deeply debossed pattern on it, which caused me a small blister on the bottom of my foot after a full day of walking in them. If the bottom of your feet are sensitive, then this is something to watch out for. They work for a short trip out to go on errands, but I probably won't trust them for a full day of walking again.
